This bike looks meaner and faster with every new pic you throw up here RJ !!! Loving it :cool: Don't sweat the wheel building, truing is a lot like lacing, once you get you a method down it starts falling in place and you wonder why it didnt make sense sooner.

The green/gold folder has some pretty cool style to it. Looks like a fun time for sure !!!

Might just be a shifter adjustment. Pretty simple inards though if you do need to replace something. Those hubs are pretty hard to open if they've been sealed up for 50 years though and need the guts swapped out.

The more costly way to adjust tension, eccentric bottom bracket.

That's what it sounds like to me. Try 4 cross and next time just count the cross pattern before unlacing ;)

The bars and forks look slick !!! Can't wait to see the truss rod's too on there. I think the frame looks cool as it sits now, but I'll keep watchin whatever you throw at it :D

Do they currently make any bike parts ?

Last time I peeked in here the bike was still on page 1, man o man what a week can do for some people !!! You sure have a knack for amazing ideas and the means to take it to the last detail RM :113:

Parts assembled so far .... Mid 80's Huffy frame / fork / seat post Wald BMX bars Skyway coaster mags w/ Duro knobby's Rest is mainly from Porkchop BMX

Don't think it matters much who the guy is getting info for. In any case I would guess the easy thing to do is ask ;) Hey klassikbike ... are you working for any brand we would of heard of ??? :21:

Sharp bike man !!! I've got a similar straightbar I grabbed off "B607" on here. One of my favorite bikes. Colors are hard to beat on an old bike. Those bars look great too from here !!!

I remember getting Fruit Stripe gum, the flavor was awesome but lasted like 10 seconds and you were ready for another piece. Guess they sold more that way lol

Lots of cool stuff going on as usual, I tend to think the small detail stuff is the coolest though. Like this one, file cabinet bracket turned reflector bracket. Awesome fit on those fenders. "ifitsfreeitsforme" - "Berkshire" build...

Sure am DS. I remember the arcade versions coming out and the handlebars were the coolest. Only matched in coolness by Gauntlet and the twist sticks on Ikari Warriors. The way they recolored it on the NES box kind of left out the truss brace on the earlier art, the NES box is the one I'm...

Bendix red bands are tough to beat for a good coaster hub. KT does make the hubs for the newer shimano hubs too. It seems to be hit or miss on the quality with both of them anymore. Fresh grease on the shoes will usually make a noticeable difference though regardless of the hub. If you've never...

I miss seeing that fsjaak dude, hasnt been around for the last few, but he was building some wild stuff in the earlier build offs. Think he only showed up for the builds too ...

Good report, will be praying for you and your family. Hoping the recovery goes smoothly and the stress is minimal from here on out outskirts!

Welcome, think I've seen your photo shares on FB in the past. Glad to have another Build Off bike in the running :)

Sorry, First time I've seen this thread. It's pretty easy for posts to get "buried" around here at times. Steve - member name "Rat Rod" is the owner. Just like Luke had suggested earlier. This link goes to his profile page, click on "Start a Conversation" if you would like to message him...
